435i Car Cover Recommendations

Boostedphil698 · 11-08-2020, 09:05 PM

Hi all, I need recommendations on car covers that are water proof, snow proof, UV resistant, the whole thing. A garage is in the works but who knows when it will get built, thanks!

Outdoor car cover will do more damage to your paint job than leaving it uncovered...but standby, others will chime in...

Put a heavy coat of wax on and hope for the best. Believe it or not inside is the only place a car cover does any good, my wagon is covered up at the storage facility to keep it dust free.

Outside as wind blows the cover moves around you're just grinding dirt into your paint.

Seconding what was said above, fine dust and debris can still makes it way under the cover when it's outside. I bought a fitted CoverKing Triguard for indoor storage to keep the dust from accumulating. Super happy with this cover for its price, I haven't noticed any scratching but it is very snug when pulled over the rear bumper.

NONE

Your paint is going to get scratch... I know from experience

Ceramic coating will do better than cover.
